Information from the Front OfficeDear Cru Family, I hope this email finds you and your family doing well. Our faculty and staff are excited about the energy and enthusiasm our students have brought into our building. Our "Cru-Spirit" is shown throughout our campus with school attire and our cheering sections during sporting events. As the year goes on, faculty and students will face more challenges, but our "Cru-Grit" will persevere during these times. So that you know, vacations are strongly discouraged during instructional time. If a student is absent for an extended period, the parents/guardian must fill out the extended absence form. Please submit this document to the front office five days before the student's absence. Go Cru! Mr. Grant Brannen Shadow Visits SHDHS is happy to announce that we will begin welcoming 8th-grade shadow students beginning on Wednesday, September 14. A Shadow Student visit is a great way for prospective students to see all SHDHS offers. During their visit, prospective students will experience a day in the life of our Crusaders. Shadow Students spend time in our classrooms, meet and talk to various SHDHS faculty and staff, learn the ins and outs of navigating our hallways, share lunch with current students, and much more. If you have an 8th grader or know of a family interested in sending their child to SHDHS, please pass on the information. To sign up for a visit, please click here. |

Crusaders of the Week
Mrs. Coronado nominates Keylee McDaniel Spanish 2 Crusader of the Week. Sometimes, even when you only know someone for a short time, how they handle themselves speaks volumes about their person. Keylee, in my experience with her, has never let circumstances get in the way of the person she wants to be. She has weathered challenges with tremendous dignity and self-possession when life has presented them. Her level of maturity is beyond her years, and it shows her excellence not only as a student but also as a great person. When people need her, they can call upon her. Felicidades Rosa, don't ever stop being who you are. Mrs. Heinrich nominates Alaina Fabre for Drama Crusader of the Week. Drama classes are generally difficult for those who are shy; not as willing to come out of their shell. Alaina makes the class feel welcome and is never afraid to answer questions and give her best performance. When she performs on stage for our upcoming musical, I know she will bring light to the performance and be an excellent addition to our Drama program in years to come. She is a great example of true Cru Grit, and I am proud to have her as a student and performer. Congratulations Alaina! |

Academic Showcase
The geometry students practiced using protractors this week while reviewing vocabulary and incorporating math and art to create unique stained glass windows.
The STEM students were in the lab this week investigating phase changes. They melted and then cooled cetyl alcohol, a compound used in cosmetics and lotions, to learn about heating and cooling curves. Ask your students what they observed on a graph when they plotted the data they recorded today! Hint: It starts with a “p” and has seven letters. In these pictures, 5th Period STEM Honors is hard at work in the lab, being safe and learning by doing.
